wheel studs??
Anyone know what size studs you need, when changing to longer ones for drag racing. I need to change mine on my 92,because of the weld wheels they are not going to pass tech, they have to stick through the lug nuts. I also need to know how hard they are to do on these cars. thanks

ARP sells Metric wheel studs, 12MM, 1.5pitch, 2 1/2" long part# 100-7708.
:yesnod:
Can also get some from Doug Rippie or Lingenfelter.
Not hard, just don't bend the wheel bearing assembly with a hammer! Use an old lug nut and plenty of anti-sieze to install the new ones.

NHRA requires that the stud enter the nut the width of the stud, a 12mm only has to be inside the nut 12MM. A 1/2 stud in the nut a 1/2. Rules changed. Hate to see you send money and do all that work for not. :D

I know Bill and Phil(wheelsup) we talk every month or so. Phil and I were going to attend a chassis class together a couple weeks ago. But it was cancelled. Bill has a Stage II LPE C5 with a boost ****. Phil's car is very impressive, 10's from a stock 350! :D

Yep, those are class "A" Guys. With even nastier cars! It would be nice for all of your crew to caravan up for the corvette challenge! I don't think we have many cars of your e.t. range which would make it all the better!
Take care.............JD :cheers: :cheers:

John P,
Right you are. I am sure they'd have a great time. The big inch vette dude sounds like He's quite compatible with you Mr Panuzzo :lol:. Maybe we'll have to twist their arms and get them to cruise up.
